5.2) Be vigilant with regards to the dangers of electricity wires.
5.3) Always ensure that all carabiners are properly locked.
5.4) The maximum force on the structure in the event of a fall is 6 kN.
5.5) Avoid any slack.
5.6) Wherever possible, the anchor point must be perpendicular to
the working position. If the anchor point is below the work area, there
is the danger of hitting structures lower down in the event of a fall. If
the anchor point is at the side, there is the danger of hitting structures
at the side. To prevent a pendulum fall, the work area or more
specifically sideways movement must be limited to a maximum of 1.5
m on both sides of the central axis. In other cases, individual anchor
points are not to be used, but rather, Type C/Class C anchorage
systems for example (only if approved for shared use), or Type D/
Class D as per EN 795. The device must be able to hang freely at
the anchor point. Should this not be possible, or a greater deflection
is required, individual anchor points should not be used, but instead a
system in accordance with e.g. EN 795 Class D (tracks) or C (cable)
(fig. 5.6).
5.7 - 5.8) Be aware of loose beam ends.
5.9) Always properly lock the carabiner.
5.10) Do not knot the suspension element.
5.11) Do not use in a choke hitch.
5.12) - 5.13) Locking carabiners and/or connectors must always be
protected against cross-loading and bending under a load.
5.14) Do not use over bulk material or similar materials.
Only use the fall arrest block as intended and not, for example, as a
work positioning lanyard, i.e. do not hold onto the fall arrest block or
pull yourself up on it.
